	KEEP ON LOVING YOU is contemporary country legend Reba McEntire's debut recording on the semi-independent Valory Music Company label's Starstruck imprint. Despite its release on an indie, the production and approach are anything but.. The cream of country music's current chart crop wrote its 13 songs, and it's a radio-friendly collection showcasing McEntire's adaptability. The title track, a midtempo ballad saturated in compressed guitars, Hammond B-3, and a chorus of fiddles, reveals that McEntire is a belter who can hang with the best of them. The set opener (and its first single), "Strange," with its acoustic guitars, mandolin, and fiddle intros, is like something from the backyard until about 20 seconds in, when a wall of guitars ? la John Rich arrives and Reba's vocal spits out lyrics about a wrecked love affair. "I Want a Cowboy" and "Pink Guitar" sound more like McEntire is being backed by the Charlie Daniels Band circa 1979 than her own touring unit. "She's Turning 50 Today" is a trademark McEntire-delivered ballad about a woman who has been abandoned by her husband and decides to leave the wreckage of her life behind. It's the kind of bittersweet power ballad that the singer is famous for, and is delivered with characteristic aplomb.

Professional Reviews

Entertainment Weekly (p.111)
- "Reba McEntire leads off her 31st album with 'Strange,' an additively sinister kiss-off..."

Billboard (p.28)
- "'Nothing to Lose' is a fast-pickin' barn burner with loads of instrumental breaks..."

Boston Globe 8 of 10
Performed by anyone else, "Strange,'' the ready-and-raring first single from Reba McEntire's new and 31st album, would make you pity the protagonist whose man has just left her. But this is Reba McEntire, so instead of a hanky she's waving a victory flag. "Strange, I oughta be in bed with my head in the pillow cryin'/ Over us/ But I ain't/ Ain't love strange,'' she sings with serious attitude on the defiant chorus...The song, with the top of the country charts dead in its sights, is a snapshot of McEntire's mindset on Keep on Loving You: No matter how bad it gets, her sass and her spirit keep her afloat. It's a sturdy and at times exuberant country album with big production and McEntire's even bigger voice leading the charge on low-key ballads ("I Keep on Lovin' You''), rocking kiss-offs ("Strange''), and her signature story songs about ordinary lives ("Maggie Creek Road'')...Only a few of these songs ("But Why,'' "Over You'') feel faceless, the kind of power ballads that could be hits for McEntire, or Martina McBride, or Faith Hill. Of course, this being a radio-friendly record, there's the requisite tip of the cowboy hat to spitfire women who buck the odds ("Pink Guitar'') and rugged, downhome men ("I Want a Cowboy'')...Tellingly, "She's Turning 50 Today,'' the sole song that really aims for the heart and the head, is the only one where McEntire gets a co-writing credit. It's classic Reba, from premise (a woman at the crossroads on her birthday) to resolution (she's going to be just fine, thank you). - James Reed
